Would a football uniform that you dislike actually "piss you off"?

Who matters most right now? The correct answer is: the athletes. Since changing, or not changing, the name affects them more than anybody else, the school should do what is best for them. Since changing the name is what is best for them, the athletic department, and the school as a whole, we should changing the nickname. It's not about offending Native American's anymore. It's about what won't cause our athletic department to fail.

You really always have to get the last word in, don't you? Regardless of how meaningless of a comment, or response, you've gotta say something. It can't be healthy to take everything on here so personally.

Looks like AP picked up the Iowa track meet issue: http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/University-of-North-Dakota-Fighting-Sioux-not-invited-to-Iowa-track-meet-due-to-nickname-022712

For those curious, I got a response from Fox Sports North regarding the Saturday game: So basically, it seems that we didn't get to watch it because somebody at Comcast didn't want to flip the switch, even though it wouldn't have interuppted any other programmer, cost them any more money or cost their subscribers any more money. Pure laziness, it appears.

It doesn't surprise me one bit, but it is disappointing. It's always nice to see more programs added to the league.

The world isn't quite that black-and-white. It's very possible to love the name but also love the university. Just because somebody wants the name to go doesn't mean they don't wish it could stay. It just means they'd rather not have the school and athletic department crippled by it.

Pretty sure the announcer just called him "Romney".

That was a dumb penalty. Looked like something Mario would do.

He did, but, to sound like a 3rd grader, Blood started it.

Blood got lucky there. He should have gotten booted, too, if LaLeggia did.

I don't see a crosscheck there. Forbort just shoved the player. His hands were already on the DU player, he just gave him a little shove to try to push him behind the net and away from Eids. (I guess I don't know how "crosscheck" reads in the rule book, but it didn't look like one to me.) Edit: I just looked up "cross-checking" in the rule book. Something about "extending the arms with both hands on the stick". If that's the case it definitely was a crosscheck, but I've NEVER seen that called that way before. They called it because the net went flying. Once again they called the result rather than the action (Mac's hit last night)

So the game's finally over....but they're interviewing players!? Really? You don't do that when you're already cutting into a different game's broadcast that was already set to Join in Progress. Very poor production by Root Sports and FCS.

At least the last 60 seconds of game clock will take 10 minutes to get through.

Did Denver not deserve a 5-minute on that one? Comcast sucks so I didn't get to see it.

If you get FSN, you should get FSN+. It's channel 694, which, in my guide doesn't show any initials, and every 30 minutes timeslot just said "To Be Announced".

That's not FSN+. That's FCSP, Fox College Sports - Pacific. One of the three channels (FCS Atlantic, FCS Central, FCS Pacific) that always shows the Sioux home games.

The more I think about it, though, if it's showing correctly on a different cable company, then it's probably Comcast's fault for not flipping a switch to turn on FSN+ on channel 694.

I called Comcast, and surprisingly, when I went through the menu to Cable TV Technical Problems, they played a recording that said where each of the hockey games are watchable. They said the UND game is only available starting at 9pm. I didn't catch what the channel number was because I already knew it was available on FCS starting at 9:00. According to the FSN+ schedule, though, it's supposed to be on channel 694 (assuming HD) at 8pm. I already emailed FSN to tell them their schedule is wrong and they they shouldn't publish an incorrect schedule. Or perhaps it's just Comcast's fault since it appears it's showing correctly on FSN+ in Grand Forks.

FSN+ is 694 on Comcast in Minneapolis. It's not being shown right now. FCS-Pacific shows coverage from 9:00 to 10:30, which is certainly a "joined in progress".

I'm sure it is joined in progress, since the game actually starts at 8:00 CST.

Goalie change!

You weren't sitting on the remote, were you? Really? I could do without Sweeny.

The TV said he shot the puck after the whistle. They probably decided it was unsportsmanlike enough for that. Same as mouthing off to a ref.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Lamoureux was an awful choice for captain.
